translated from Spanish: Aliens in 20 years, will discover ways of life predict scientists

home international aliens within 20 years, will be discovered forms of life predict scientists photography / 10 England-humanity is about to answer the question of the universe, according to a British scientist has predicted. In a recently published article, one of the leading astrophysicists of the nation has stated that we will discover traces of extraterrestrial life within 20 years.
Dr. David L Clements, of the Imperial University, said that “detect signs of life elsewhere has been so difficult technically that it seems almost impossible” until very recently. “However, new prospects for observation and other developments they mean that the signs of life elsewhere could discover realistically in the next decade or two,” he continued.
In their study, Dr. Clements spoke about the Fermi paradox, which is the contradiction between the high probability of life that exists in the universe and the fact that we could not detect it. Theoretically, a “civilization that navigates through space” should be able to visit each one of the stars of the Galaxy on a time scale of between 50 and 100 million years, even if they traveled at speeds that were slower than the speed of light. “The aliens should already be here, but aren’t,” added Dr. Clements. ‘ This can be used as an argument against the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial, but our very existence is proof that intelligent life can arise in the Galaxy.
His article continues suggesting that life probably is in oceans locked beneath the frozen surface of moons or planets, which could have major implications for the development of a civilization. In our own solar system, one of likely homes for extraterrestrial life is Europe, a moon of Jupiter that is believed that it hides a huge body of water under its icy crust. “We are left with the somewhat chilling prospect that the Galaxy may be full of life, but that any intelligence within it is enclosed under impenetrable ice barriers, unable to communicate or even understand the existence of the” outer universe”, continued paper ‘ we know that the species that live in the water can evolve to a high level of intelligence: dolphins and octopuses are good examples. “However, a liquid environment can be a limiting factor in the development of the technology”.
